Urban Shelf

You have no shortage of options when it comes to wall shelving. You can make your own out of galvanized gas pipe, or even buy it premade on Etsy. You can pick up those invisible particle board numbers from everyone’s favorite Swedish big box. Few options will end up looking as cool as this Urban Shelf from Chiasso. Made of sturdy epoxy-coated steel, the wall-mounted shelf is designed to look like three levels of a fire escape. Use it for pens and pencils, art, magazines, mail, chachkis, plants or anything else that will fit on one of the three landings. Overall size is 12″ x 3.75″ x 25.5,” and it ships in two pieces. Some assembly is required, but we think it’s worth it.

[Shop]We might not all agree on watches, wallets or other pieces of the everyday carry, but the one thing we can all agree on is our mutual love of building things out of small bricks. Forget plastic building bricks that can only be used with specific mats and upgrade your conference call and boring meeting building with this 1:12 scale mini cinder block pallet set. With 24 miniature cinder blocks and one pallet per set, this has everything you need to build a great foundation for the big box creation of your dreams. Whether you’re making a small creation of your own devising with the 24 pieces that come with it, or adding multiples to build something more grandiose, this is the best way to build when you’re not using plastic.
